Product details

Triple-function analog IC for smart-card interfaces

The Maxim Integrated MAX954EPA is a combined amplifier, comparator, and reference IC designed specifically for smart-card interface applications. It integrates the three analog functions needed to condition and compare card signals in a single 8-pin DIP package, simplifying the bill of materials for legacy or through-hole-based reader designs.

Through-hole DIP — board-level fit and legacy support

Housed in an 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) package with through-hole mounting, the MAX954EPA is suited for boards where wave soldering or hand assembly is preferred, or where a DIP socket provides field-replaceability. The 8-PDIP supplier device package footprint is standard across many Maxim smart-card interface parts, easing layout reuse.

Lifecycle and compliance — active but RoHS non-compliant

However, it is RoHS non-compliant, which restricts its use in markets requiring lead-free assembly. For regulated regions, confirm whether a leaded-solder exemption applies or if a RoHS-compliant alternative is needed.
